One of the most beautiful surviving Byzantine churches, with interiors laid out in fine mosaics and frescoes, has been converted into the impressive Kariye Museum.

This Istanbul City Center house of prayer is a good spot to kick off your day of sightseeing. There's plenty to experience in the vicinity, including Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Topkapi Palace. Wander around at your leisure at Chora Church before making tracks to these other fine attractions.

Great location. Murad is a great lad, he allowed us to check in early and helped us find a taxi for our transfer. I’d suggest Gritti Pera to work on their breakfast.

We had a wonderful experience at Carina Hotel. The service was very good, and the staff were friendly and helpful, especially the bell door team. The hotel was clean and well-maintained, and the breakfast was quite good with a nice variety. The location is also excellent, close to key attractions and easy to get around. Would definitely recommend!
